About District 9810

District 9810 is situated in Rotary Zone 8 and is located in South Eastern Victoria, Australia.

 

Physically, District 9810 lies to the east of the Melbourne Central Business District. The district boundaries encompass parts of the eastern and south eastern suburbs of Melbourne and then stretch eastward through the Yarra Valley and the beautiful Dandenong Ranges. At approximately 3200 square kilometres, District 9810 is one of the smallest in area of the 23 Districts in Australia.

 

From Port Phillip Bay to the Ranges, District 9810 stretches from the southwest corner at Hampton to Chelsea along the bay, moves north east from Hampton to Templestowe, and then east across to Healesville, south to Upper Yarra, and meander west through the hills to Monbulk and Emerald. Then, moving south west to Rowville, you can follow your nose back to Chelsea! You've just travelled about 200 kilometres and probably passed our District Governor somewhere on the road!

 

There are currently 51 Rotary clubs in District 9810 and we have almost 1500 Rotarians involved in all areas of Rotary service. There are also six Rotaract clubs comprising young persons between 18 and 30 years who undertake community sevrice work.

 

On the left hand side of this web page is a club selector. You can either select the club that you want, by name and see the meeting and contact details of that club, or if you are new to our area, you can type in your postcode and our club selector will display the details of the club that is nearest to you.

 

Rotarians in District 9810 will talk about our area as a producer of some of Australia's best wines, fruit and flowers. The area includes a number of important commercial, business and industrial centres. We also have a number of important centres of tertiary education, medicine and advanced scientific and technological research. The District covers a number of important municipalities, and of course, this is an area where Melburnians really like to live.
